  • Title: [The superoxide-scavenging activity of some amino acids in water solutions].
    Author: Chistiakov VA, Kornienko IV, Kletskiĭ ME, Kornienko IE, Lisistyn AS, Novikov VV.

    Abstract:
    The superoxide-scavenging activity of a number of amino acids was revealed. The activity is comparable in effectiveness with known antioxidants. An original method for the estimation of antioxidant properties of amino acids was proposed. Quantum mechanical calculation of the interaction of lysine with superoxide anion was made. It was assumed that the mechanisms of the biological action of some physical factors, such as weak magnetic fields adjusted to the cyclotron frequency of ions of some amino acids, are associated with the modulation of the antioxidant activity of these molecules.
